“Ana is a wonderful pet sitter! She has taken great care of my cat, who can be a bit picky with her food at times, and my roommate’s dog, who can be super energetic! She is great with the animals and always sends me updates and photos of them while taking care of them. Ana is respectful and trustworthy - she is always my first call if I’m going out of town and need someone to take care of our pets! Any pet owner would be lucky to work with her!”

About: For the past two years, I’ve lived with a dog and have gained a deep appreciation for the care, love, and responsibility that comes with it. Daily walks have always been a priority, along with plenty of affection and attention. I’ve also helped care for pets in other homes, primarily for family friends and friends, whether stopping by to feed and walk their dogs or giving their cats the care and affection they need. Before living with a dog, I also lived with a cat, whom I cared for as my own, so I’m comfortable with both types of pets and making sure they are continually cared for in a safe and trusting environment. I work a full time job but the shifts don’t start until 3:30 so I have open availability Monday- Friday anytime before that! This fits perfectly to my schedule. I also have availability Sundays all day! I’m an experienced city walker who knows my way around and loves getting in plenty of steps throughout the day. Adding a dog friend companion to my walks would make it even better! I understand how important regular exercise is for a dog’s well being and would love to provide them with the care they need while ensuring a safe and enjoyable walk! I have a deep passion for animals, and spending time with them always makes my day better. While I’ve primarily cared for the pets of friends and family, I’m excited to expand my experience and help others by providing the same love and care I would as if they were my own. I may not have a long history of walking clients pets yet, but I bring reliability, attentiveness, and a true love for animals to every interaction. I’m also highly communicative and will always provide updates on how your pet is doing whether we’re out on a walk or just spending time together at their home. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and give them the attention they deserve!
